Start 2010 off right - plan to particiate in the St. John Siegfried Health Club Indoor Triathlon!

What is the St. John Indoor Triathlon?

The St. John Indoor Triathlon is a two-day, multi-sport event featuring a 500-yard swim, 8-mile bike and 3-mile run.

 

When is the triathlon?

Team relays are held Saturday, February 20, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. 
Individual competition starts Sunday February 21, 8 am to 3 p.m.

 

Where is the triathlon?

The triathlon will take place at St. John Siegfried Health Club, 1819 E. 19th St.

 

How does an indoor triathlon work?

Swimming- The swim takes place in a 25-yard heated swimming pool consisting of 4 lanes (two swimmers per lane). Each participant completes 10 laps using any swim stroke desired. Participants? feet should not touch the bottom of the pool unless they are resting at either end of the pool. A volunteer will be assigned to each swimmer to count laps. After ten laps have been completed participants exit out of the pool and up two flights of stairs to the transition area.
Transition Area- The transition area is a place where participants dress to complete the remainder of the race. There will be towels available for dry off, if needed, and a chair or table to place belongings (shoes, socks, shirt, iPod, etc.)
Bike- The eight-mile bike ride will be performed on stationary upright bikes set up inside the group fitness studio. A volunteer will be assigned to assist all participants on the bike and to keep track of mileage. After eight miles have been completed, participants will be directed to the track.
Running- The three-mile run takes place on a three-lane track with slightly raised embankments at the corners. It will take 36 laps to complete three miles. A volunteer will be assigned to count laps for each runner. Volunteers will alert participants on final laps and finish line directions.

Big News! TAT will now have a Calender year only membership.  We used to have a rolling year membership which if you signed up in March, then your membership would expire in March.  Now everyone's membership will expire on December 31 2010.  Don't Panic, if you signed up Post July 1, 2009, great news, YOUR MEMBERSHIP WILL BE CARRIED OVER FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR FOR 2010!  The rolling membership is still in effect for everyone else.  So if you renewed or joined your membership will carry until the calender date.

You can check your membership status or expiration date here.

Early renewal option is in effect until January 31, 2010 at 11:59 PM CST.  The discount will be 10$ off regular dues of individual membership costs only $30-year (20$ until January 31, 2010), and family membership (up to four people in a household) is $40/year (30$ until January 31, 2010).

To sign up, even if it is a few months early for you to renew, go here.
We have added some new club goodies that are included in your membership. For those of you who just joined in the past month or so I will mail those new goodies to you ASAP after I get them from the secret membership goody manufacturer.

We hope you’ll take advantage of this membership incentive and will enjoy what is in store with TAT for 2010.
